A lot of good things going on here. The concept, the color, the shadow

For color portraits, I used Portra 400 or Portra 160 in the natural

I posted two pairs of comparison pics. Some disclaimers. On the K-5
fireplug pic I had the exposure comp set at -0.3, and the meter chose
1/250th at f5.6 rather than the 1/200th @ f5.6 that the K-7 meter
chose. Exposure comp on the K-7 was at zero. For the house pics, the
cameras were both

Those who think the K-7 image looks GOOD have to be K-7 owners.

I'd rather see a comparison

Thanks Dan.
She was talking to her father in Scotland. That's a delicate issue

encourage her to stay in touch. It's hard to get her to spend more

Boris asked me to provide a direct comparison. So here it is. One pic
each of the same scene from each camera, shot off a tripod with the
DA* 16-50 at f5.6, 1/60th. (Both meters agreed on that exposure.) The
FOV varies slightly, because I turned the zoom ring a bit when
removing the lens
of the room and exposed accordingly.
However, since I'm broke, I might as well not be able to afford a
645D as a K-5.

The tabletop looks horribly grainy.
Yes, it was solid color:-). Seriously, the tonality of the tabletop
is near perfect
I checked manual focus with the 85/1.8 wide open. I achieved good
focus on a majority of shots at a target. My eyes are a limiting
factor here. I'm old:-). But if the screen is off, it would be by a
very small amount.

Yes. I'll send it to you as a high res jpeg. I made my own. I just
shoot it at a 45 degree angle. Target on the floor. Camera on a
tripod. There are even better devices available that utilize a scale
thats on a 45 degree angle and a vertical target. I might build
something like that. But

Paul,
if you adjust the files for maximum dynamic range, the K-5 will have
more dynamic range and less contrast than the K-7. Neither file will
be usable in that state. As a practical matter more dynamic range
moves the choice about what to blow

It's smaller. It would be too small for me without the grip, but with
the trip it's excellent. It's shaped better than previous Pentax DSLRs
-- more of a built in grip that is properly proportioned. The same as
the K-7 if you've tried that.
